Our apartment is in a picturesque location, only three kilometres from the popular seaside town of Greystones, it is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Although close to Greystones this penthouse apartment is also very convenient to people who intend on travelling into the heart of Dublin, as there is a train station in Greystones town only a few kilometres away. Serviced by the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) system.

We had a very warm welcome...great host.

A great apartment with superb views. The use of a car is an advantage for access to the local town

Jacqueline 2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Patricia's flat is lovely with a great location and a terrific view of the ocean, and her partner is a very helpful and generous gentleman. It's well-furnished, has all the amenities, and the ocean-facing balcony is wonderful to sit on and enjoy a coffee while watching seagulls float by. Overall I had a good experience, and I'm sure they'll find many takers in the future. Make sure to get good directions, as the place is a little hard to find, and please note that at the moment they don't have wifi. This is a great place with fantastic seas-side views and helpful owners. A few tweaks will make it just perfect! I'd recommend staying here if you're in the area and want a relaxing place from which to enjoy the beauty of the sea.

Jeffery2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Had a great stay in Patricia's. I met her husband when I got there and he took the time to show me a little around the area. The place is a bit far out which I expected so I can't complain, if you don't have a car I would recommend downloading the Dublin bus app and nextDart app, they will make public transportation much easier to use. No complaints about the cleanliness or the area, a quiet place with really nice views especially first thing in the morning looking at the sea from the balcony

This apartment is situated behind and attached to a large Georgian house in its own magnificent grounds within a buzzy village. The apartment is modern and compact. It runs over two levels. Downstairs is the private garden and kitchen and upstairs is a lovely bright sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. It has great light, has been newly installed and decorated. It's on two immediate bus routes to Dublin and within a short drive to Glendalough & Powerscourt. Across the road is Fishers (like Avoca)

The Apartment is at the back of a manor house. It has its own courtyard within a courtyard so is really private. The planting around is great, big trees, nature all about but in the middle of a busy village up the road from Glendalough, the Wicklow Way, Avoca, Powerscourt etc. it's parallel to a fab lifestyle store with a good cafe and lots of joules and Jack Murphy & Olsen clothes. The mini-demesne is on a quiet road with a coillte walk at one end and a village at the other. It's not in Dublin but not rural.

The property is about about a 5mins walk from the village which has a few pubs and a hotel which has a nice, reasonably priced restaurant. Alison was a great host and her whole property is amazing. We were a couple but if you had kids, there is plenty of secure garden for them to run around, there is a bit of a playground and there is a few geese running around. We stayed in the pink house which was perfect. It was clean and had all mod-cons. Would totally recommend a stay here.

Martin2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the apartment for 5 nights and had a fantastic time. It really did feel like home from home; it is extremely comfortable, stylish, and has everything you need. Lots of space! Allison is a super host and welcomed us very warmly, picked us some lovely flowers and had basic provisions waiting for us too. Her home and family are delightful. In terms of the location, it is ideal for exploring lovely county Wicklow, and is close to Dublin too. The village itself has an excellent big Dunnes Stores supermarket, a lovely cafe just across the road from Allison's place, and several pubs. We hope we can stay again. Thanks Allison!

Regine2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

Excellent hosts! Directions there and instructions for arrival were spot on. The house was perfect with everything that we might have needed. We definitely would stay again. Thier dog, Rover was also a nice addition :-)

Adam2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

From the moment you cross through the gates and are greeted by the grounds-hound Rover with a friendly tail-wag, to the journey up the fabulously longer-than-usual driveway through the property, you instantly know you've found yourself a hidden gem. Allison + Co were wonderful to communicate with (a friendly and kind bunch!), and gave us a gorgeous mini-home for the weekend in Wicklow. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to explore Wicklow/Dublin - a convenient location to retreat to after days of adventure. Would return in a heartbeat!

Cat2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Allison's apartment was far better than I expected. Though only a few rooms, it was spacious and generous with light. One never felt cramped and everything worked correctly. The bed was comfortable and firm and the view from the bedroom was interesting , a cross-section of the Wicklow landscape out towards the sea. The garden and lawn with trees was in keeping historically and atmospherically with its !8th century ancestry. Altogether this place provides an unique experience.

James2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

What a lovely apartment and host! My husband and I received a very warm welcome from Allison and the family. Allison made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect rest spot after a day hiking in the Wicklow Mountains National Park, about 25-30 mins away. Cheers!

Luxury apartment located in the idyllic town of Greystones. Greystones is set in the beautiful surrounds of Wicklow on the south east coast of Ireland and just short drive to Dublin city centre.

Very nice apartment, with beautiful views over the Irish Sea, in a calm and safe neighbourhood, with regular bus connections to the railway station and onwards to Bray and Dublin. Very nice interiors, with a great collection of paintings and pictures, with all necessary amenities (like a good kitchen, bathroom, wifi-connection and cable-tv), making my visit here very comfortable. Having stayed for a longer period, I have to say that Joanne's apartment was really like a home away from home, and a real pleasure to come back to after a long day in Dublin. Joanne was very friendly and helpful on arrival, has very good taste in her decoration choices, and could also be reached when necessary during the stay. I will miss the beautiful sun-sets and sun-rises over the Irish Sea during early mornings and evenings, and also the very quiet and calm surroundings, with no residential or traffic noise bothering you. It was a pleasure to have stayed in Joanne's apartment and I would recommend it to others in the future.

Andy2016-10-03T00:00:00Z

Perfect stay in s beautiful apartment. Everything was as described and pictured. Perfect location for exploring and Joanne was the perfect host!! Highly recommended, would definitely return in the future!

Caroline & Laura2015-09-06T00:00:00Z

Great stay. Joanne is a great host. The apartment is lovely and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Tom2016-11-03T00:00:00Z

Joanne made us feel very welcome. The apartment was lovely. Lots of nice restaurants & cafes in Greystones and having the beach nearby was great.

My place is close to the village of Greystones, Co Wicklow. You’ll love my place because it is a spacious yet cosy ground floor apartment with south facing aspect and views of the green area. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.

The flat was great and the listing was accurate. The place is a 5 minute drive from Greystones. It's a very spacious, well equipped apartment in a quiet neighbourhood. Erin herself was very helpful, accommodating and was always contactable. Would recommend this listing.

Paul is a great host. He picked me and my friends up at the airport and took us to his home. The train station is at least a 20 minute walk away and there's not a bus all the way to it. Once on the train it's about 45 minutes into downtown Dublin. So quite far out but a great place to stay if you don't mind walking.

Courtney2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Our bright and airy apartment is in a beautiful coastal village, near the mountains but still within commuting distance of the fascinating city of Dublin.

Modern living space, traditional coastal setting but still only 40 minutes from the city centre

Lovely cafés and restaurants. Beautiful scenery.

Wow, best ever AirBnb, Dave and Trish were fantastic hosts, the place was very clean and extremely welcoming. There is a lovely little supermarket (very well stocked) just a few meters away, and various other shops/eateries just across the street. A five minute walk takes you to a bus stop, which goes fairly regularly to Greystones and Bray. There are also loads of hidden gems nearby (I recommend for any foodies "The Pidgion House" in Delagany just 2k from Dave's). Very smooth check-in and checkout. Dave left us a lovely welcome pack to get started, and I really hope we get to go back for another trip here. 5 stars overall.

Calm and peaceful. This apartment is located on a golf course and has sea views. It is 45 mins by bus or train to Dublin city centre or 20 mins to discover the Glendalough.
Surrounded by coffee shops & restaurants including the famous Happy Pear.

Great place, lovely view and blacony area. Only a short distance from greystones and a nice getaway. I would highly recommend!

Mark2016-06-29T00:00:00Z

We were made feel very welcome by Ruth. Very nice person and very accommodating. Her apartment is amazing. The building itself and surroundings are very quiet. It is a very calm oasis. Located only 2 minutes drive from the centre of Greystones. The only place to stay if you are making a visit to Greystones. Highly Recommended.

John2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Ruth was very flexible as a host, provided us with a clean, secluded apartment with 5 star views. Recommend!

Eoin2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

We knew the area already from a previous stay and the apartment was very nicely kept and comfortable. The balcony was lovely especially as we had beautiful weather during our stay. All the amenities were there if you needed them.

Jonathan2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Ruth was a fantastic host from the moment I booked until we were leaving, she even met us when we were leaving to say hello and check that everything went ok for us. The apartment is beautiful and very well kept and clean, we enjoyed our stay there immensely. The location couldn't have been better for us as it was very central to everywhere we wanted to go: Victor's Way Indian Sculpture Park, Glendalough, Mount Usher Gardens, Killruddery House & Gardens, Bray, and Dublin Zoo. We visited a couple of lovely pub restaurants nearby too - The Coach House in Roundwood and The Castle Inn in Newcastle. It is also very close by to the local supermarkets Supervalu and Aldi. I wouldn't hesitate about staying in Ruth's apartment again in the future and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Lyndsey2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Ruth was an excellent host and was available by phone to answer any questions we had. The apartment was as she had described. It was comfortable, warm and had a lovely view of the golf course. The apartment complex was extremely well looked after and it was quiet and peaceful as was the area. A good supervalu was just across the road. There was ample parking. We enjoyed our short stay very much.

Carol2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Bright and private self-catering studio. Separate building to the main house. Close to pub, beach, bird sanctuary, public transport. Less than an hour to Dublin Airport. Within a 500m walk of a friendly pub which serves good food. There's a Dublin Bus stop directly outside our gate, which will take you on a short ride to Greystones which has an excellent choice of bars and restaurants, and to the Dart Station directly into Dublin City.

This spacious accommodation occupies the whole of a little house which is separate from the main house where the owner lives. The accommodation is bright, there are double glass doors to the east, and a big long window to the south of the studio giving plenty of light. This is self-catering studio accommodation. The sleeping areas and kitchen are combined with the living space. For a relaxing stay where privacy and space are valued, this accommodation is best suited to two people. Where budget accommodation is required and privacy is not so important, then the accommodation is suited for three people.
The main bed in the studio is a comfortable double. All bed linen is 100% cotton. Should anyone prefer two single duvets on the double bed please ask, otherwise a double duvet will be provided. If the single bed is required, it is a high quality fold-out bed with a firm 80cm mattress. Towels are provided.
The studio has a wood-burning stove. This gives a really pleasant ambiance to the room, and it also gives a great deal of heat. We will supply you with enough fuel to get you through your first night, more fuel is available for purchase at the petrol station in the village.
The shower room has an electric shower. There is a space heater in the shower room to preheat the room in cool weather.
The studio has a kitchen area with a two ring induction hob, and a number of small cooking appliances. There is also a barbeque.
On your arrival you will find some fresh bread, butter, milk and juice. If our hens are in a good mood (mostly in spring and summer) there will also be new laid eggs left for you. There are plenty of fresh herbs in the garden for cooking. There is fruit in the garden at different times of the year.
There is a soundbar, you can bluetooth your music to it from your device, or you can plug in. There is good fibre broadband internet. The television does not receive a terrestrial or satellite signal, it has a Chromecast for you to stream content from the internet to the television via your device (phone, iPad, laptop...) You have access to our Netflix account while you stay with us.
This is a great base for many different kinds of visitors:
For people who want to visit Wicklow's attractions and enjoy walks and picnics on the hills and beach
For people who want to stay in a peaceful rural village environment whilst still being able to access local towns and Dublin City, by car or public tranport
For serious mountaineers/walkers who wish to explore the Wicklow Mountains
For golfers, we are very close to Druids Glen Golf Hotel and Resort with its two courses Druids Glen and Druids Heath, and are also within easy reach of many other clubs including Greystones Golf Club and Bray Golf Club
For garden enthusiasts who wish to visit some of Ireland's most beautiful gardens
For bird enthusiasts who want to be near the bird sanctuary, beach and uplands for bird watching

Newcastle is a quiet village with a small population, it has a great friendly local pub a short walk away which serves good bar food.
There is a petrol station in the village which incorporates a shop which has basic supplies. There are two small supermarkets in Kilcoole, the next village just five minutes north of us, and four supermarkets in Greystones, a step further north again.
The beach down the Sea Road is great for a walk. The Bird Sanctuary is a designated European conservation site and is host to many migratory birds.
Our location gives easy access to both Dublin city and the Wicklow mountains.
Driving from here in Newcastle, you are within very easy reach of the things that make County Wicklow worth visiting, for example we are less than a half-hour drive from Glendalough. We are very happy to advise on short trips in the area. Wicklow is a wonderful county for sightseeing and hiking. If you do not have a car and you enjoy walking, if we are around we can drop you to a place from where you can walk back to the house along miles of beach and on quiet country roads.
There are many beautiful gardens in the area. The world-renowned Powerscourt House and Gardens is about twenty minutes drive away, and the beautiful Mount Usher is just over ten minutes. Both of these gardens have very good places to have lunch. The Botanic Gardens at Kilmacurragh are about twenty minutes away, entrance is free of charge.

The stay in this cottage was wonderful. We were looking for a nice rural setting that was still close to attractions. The description was perfectly detailed on the Airbnb site. Louise was helpful and extremely welcoming. The fresh bread waiting for us was so good! We had a great stay and she helped us with any questions and gave some great recommendations. The bus stop is right in front of the house and there are nice towns on the seaside that are easily reachable. My husband and daughter played golf at Druids Glen / Heath which was right up the road. It was a great place to relax. Thanks for hosting us!

Tanya2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

I stayed in Louise's studio for 2 days while attending a wedding at Trudder Lodge. I had a really fantastic stay.The studio is exactly as described,spotless and very comfortable.Location is in a lovely area with great scenery.Louise is an absolutely fantastic host.She very kindly offered to drive me to the wedding venue on both days which was very handy.I would highly recommend a stay in Louise's and will definitely be back should I be in the area again.

Louise's flat was comfortable, clean, and well stocked with staples for cooking, speakers and chrome cast, private garden area, and a dart board :) Louise gave us a lift from the Greystones DART station and generously offered to assist us as we needed throughout the week. We also enjoyed the beach area nearby and a mela at the local pub. Many thanks!

My place is relaxed,warm and friendly and very close to the train station. (Dublin City is about 45 minutes by train). Buses, restaurants, bars, beaches,the marina etc are 5 minutes from our front door. Many areas of both natural and historical interest are within a 30 to 60 minute drive(or a very nice cycle for the more adventurous). Susan and I will be more than happy to offer suggestions on areas to visit and to show you around the local area.

My family spent more than a week at Sinead's place and we love it! Sinead is a very kind lady, she brought us welcome flowers and scones on the day we arrived. She let us use her fireplace and we had such a wonderful evening because of that. Her response is quick and clear, making our stay a pleasant experience. Thank you Sinead!

Great location. Close to the shops and the DART. Perfect base for traveling around the area. Sine ad is a great host, leaving a lovely basket of goods for us to use. Sinead could not have been more helpful.

We stayed at Sinead's place for only one night before we left Ireland, the apartment's location is about 30 minutes from Dublin, which is no problem for us because we had a car. The main reason for us to stay at Greystones is the Powerscourt Gardens, which takes 15 minutes to drive from the apartment. The apartment's newly renovated bathroom is perfect, and the bedroom and kitchen are cozy but we only stay for one night so it does not matter. If you stay at Sinead's place, we would highly recommend going to Happy Pear for breakfast, the food is amazing and the environment is relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, we love Greystones and Sinead's apartment.

THE SPACE...
There's lots of little treats to make your stay as comfortable as possible... candles, a selection of bath bubbles, robes, slippers, cosy throws & cushions, DVDs, board games, lots of books to peruse... And plenty more...
Wonderfully Bright, Airy Uplifting Loft Apartment with king double bedroom, (sleeping two people), an open plan studio consisting of 3 very comfortable sofa beds (sleeping 4 people), a south-east facing Balcony, Kitchen/Dining area. A bright airy landing leads to a family Bathroom with rain shower and sumptuous bath.
The Lodge has been designed to be a place to unwind, chill out, rest your mind, peruse a book, chat jovially with family or friends, laugh a lot and then sleep like a baby when you do climb into cosy your bed.
The apartment overlooks a wilderness garden full of trees chirping with birds, beautiful Wicklow countryside and fields with grazing horses & sheep.
It is perfect for either a relaxing break, a sightseeing tour of Wicklow or Dublin, or even a stop-over en-route through county Wicklow.
A car is a must in order to make the most of all of beautiful Wicklow's most wonderful offerings.
Whilst we would be happy to host you for just one night, to get the best from the restful space, allow yourself to come stay for at least two nights.
It is very quiet and peaceful with only the sound of birds when you have the windows open.
Outside in the wild garden, we aim to be a Bird Friendly, Bug Friendly, Wildlife Friendly zone, encouraging and nourishing all kinds of creatures including a large variety of birds, bats, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, grasshoppers, frogs, newts, rabbit, fox, badger, deer and more.
There is a private, secluded, outdoor chilling/picnic area for guest use only. We call it 'The Circle'. It's a circular patch of trimmed grass with rustic log seating & a fire pit. There is a small fee for a tub of logs for use in the firepit. A lovely area to sit and relax at any time of day.
Please note: For those looking for a party venue, this is not a suitable place to stay, loud music or boisterous behaviour is not welcomed at the Lodge.

Laragh & Glendalough are about 30 mins drive west, a lovely continuation from Roundwood and Lough Dan. We highly recommend doing lunch or dinner in The Wicklow Heather while in Laragh, even a coffee or a drink on the terrace if you don't have time for a meal. Say hello to Betty, the wonderful proprietor and hostess.
The Wicklow Way Walk runs through the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Many of the sections can be walked individually and the starting points are easily reached (by car) from The Lodge.
Roundwood & Lough Dan is about 20 mins driving west from us, beautiful for an evening drive around the lakes. Two good restaurants in this area would be The Roundwood Inn, a very quaint pub/restaurant serving a small but delicious menu. Also Woods & Byrne, a renovated pub/restaurant serving a good menu and with a great little bar attached which often has traditional live music.
Wicklow town is about 7km south from us. It has lots of useful shops and several good cafes. There is a lovely short walk around the historical ruins of the Black Castle. A longer but even more spectacular walk (and only for the sure-footed) is the Cliff walk to the old lighthouse, then down the path to the new lighthouse. While in Wicklow, we would highly recommend a visit to Wicklow Gaol and afterwards a bite to eat in Jailer's Rest Cafe, a simple menu with a delicious seafood chowder ;-)
Along the quays in Wicklow you must not miss a visit to The Fish Man (Alan), it is a delightful shop, selling... well yes, all varieties of fresh fish. Soon he hopes to have a small restaurant attached to the shop. The Fish Man has a great relationship with a local Seal, (Sammy) who can often be seen hanging around in the harbour next to the shop. The Wicklow Sailing Regatta takes place every August and is worth a visit to see the wonderful array of boats before they take off on their races.
Brittas Bay beach is about 20 mins south from us. It's fantastic for a chilly dip, even better for a long sandy beach walk or a beach run.
Rathdrum is s small town in the same area as Avoca & Woodenbridge. Avondale House & Park is here. It's a very historical park & well worth a visit or a picnic if you love old mature trees. About 20 mins from us. 'Bates' is a wonderful restaurant in Rathdrum should you wish to hang about that area for dinner.
Kilmacurragh House & Garden, close to Glenealy and Rathdrum, about 20 mins from us .... a sad but historic story goes with the house and gardens, of an Irish family broken by WW1. A superb garden containing many rare varieties of trees, shrubs an plants, now under the care of The National Botanic Garden.
Avoca & Wooden-bridge are pretty villages, about 30 mins south from us. The popular visitors attraction, The Meeting of The Waters, is located here. Avoca was the setting for the famous tv series 'Ballykissangel' and is home to a large flock of breeding Red Kite. There is a great cafe in Avoca village, the original Avoca Handweavers Cafe, well worth a trip just for the tasty food and great coffee. Also a good little pub for a pint, one which was used in the Ballykissangel tv series. Woodenbridge is a village a little further down the river. In May, the hedgerows are coloured purple with Rhodendron. There is a sensitively designed WW1 memorial garden under the bridge there which has a collection of standing stones representing all the villages and towns of Co Wicklow which lost young men to The Great War (phone number hidden). It's a lovely tribute to these men and worth a visit for a few moments of reflection and remembrance.
Powerscourt Estate, Gardens and Avoca Cafe & Shop is approximately 20 mins drive north from us. The driveway up to the house and gardens boast a stunning selection of old Beech trees, a big must for any tree-huggers among you. The gardens are worth a stroll while lunch on the terrace of Powerscourt House Cafe is a great lunch stop, offering an amazing selection of delicious soups, salads, hot dishes and 'impossible to resist' cakes and puddings.
Avoca Kilmacanogue, Shopping & Garden Centre are about 15 mins north from us, set in a beautiful woodland... a foodie shopaholic's dream. Two great eating options there are 'The Fern' Restaurant and 'The Lemon Tree' Cafe.
Greystones is a beautiful seaside town, about 7km from north from us. It has a train station, many great restaurants, bars, shops, a beach walk, the well-known cliff walk, a harbour for sailing fun and much much more.
For lunch, we would highly recommend a visit to The Happy Pear, our local organic vegan restaurant serving the most delicious, wholesome food in County Wicklow. They are open on Fri & Sat evenings throughout the (website hidden) (phone number hidden)
For dinner, we would recommend The Three Q's, a quaint little restaurant with warm and friendly staff. It is owned and managed by three talented brothers, the three Quinn brothers, two are chefs, the other is at front of house and an expert (website hidden). (phone number hidden)
MORE LOCAL TO US
Our nearest villages, Newcastle , Ashford & Newtownmountkennedy, are each approximately 4km away. There you will find a local pub for food & pints plus a convenience store for essential supplies. There is a large supermarket & pharmacy in Newtownmountkennedy.
East Coast Nature Reserve is about 2.5 km, down the sea road from Newcastle Village. It's a beautiful nature walk with stunning Wicklow mountain and coastal scenery to invigorate the senses. Kilcoole Coastal Bird Reserve and it's Little Tern colony is just a 4km drive.
Mount Usher Garden, Ashford, 4 km from us, is a delightful old garden with the babbling river Vartry running through it, as well as beautiful shrubs, flowers, a wildflower meadow and wise old mature trees that could tell a story or two. It is in Ashford, 4km from here. You won't find carpet bedding of annuals, clipped topiary or manicured lawns here at Mount Usher. From its conception back in the 1860s, Mount Usher has pursued a naturalistic approach to planting and landscaping, a style which is often referred to as Robinsonian after Irishman, William Robinson (phone number hidden)).
"This is an art Which does mend nature, change it rather: but The art itself is nature.
Robinson used this line from Shakespeare as a motto and as a guiding principle in his work. One of horticulture's great writers and innovators, he revolutionised the way we think about gardens. As a reaction against showy Victorian formality, instead Robinson advocated using permanent planting rather than bedding plants and believed in achieving an apparently informal garden experience by mixing native and exotic plants.
Mount Usher Avoca Garden Cafe is located here and you can indulge in a little retail therapy in the shopping courtyard and the Greenhouse Garden Store.
Killoughter beach is 4km from us. It is a pretty, stoney beach with a stunning view of Wicklow Head and a wonderful long grassy walk 7km to Wicklow town, a great way to burn off some calories before enjoying a good lunch in the lovely seaside town of Wicklow.
We have a wonderful 'Country Market' in Newcastle Village on Saturday mornings, well worth a visit for delicious homemade or homegrown organic provisions. They also have a small selection of craft, the most special being a selection of small botanic paintings by Lynn Stringer, a very talented botanic artist living in Newcastle. Many of the paintings are inspired by rare or well-loved flowers, my favourites are The Bluebell and The Primrose. If you like gardens and flowers, they make an excellent souvenir of your Wicklow visit.
We have several world class golf clubs in our area, the nearest being Druid's Glen GC which is about 4km from us, Wicklow GC is 15 mins drive. Blainroe GC which is about 20 mins drive. Woodenbridge GC is 40 mins drive. Powerscourt GC is 20 mins drive. Glen Mill GC, our lovely local golf course is 2km up the hill from us, owned and managed by The Byrne family.
Cycling is a very popular sport in Wicklow. I have huge admiration for those who tackle our big hilly county on a bicycle. Eric's late father was a very keen cyclist and I believe, was one of the founding members of the Wicklow 200. We would be delighted to welcome any of you brave cyclists that are passing through.
For Equine sporting folks, Boswell Equestrian Centre is about 3km from here. If you are attending an event at Boswell, we have a roomy backyard where you could park a horse box should you need a place to stay in the vicinity. Unfortunately we don't have any stables or paddock.
We are ideally located for those who hope to incorporate both the Wicklow Mountains and the beautiful Wicklow Coastline during their visit. Being situated close to the coast, as is The Lodge, we rarely get shrouded in mist, as the mountains often do.
We love the proximity of both the Irish Sea and the beautiful Wicklow Mountains National Park, there's a great feeling of space and we feel very lucky to live where we live. We are surrounded by a perfect mix of scenery, activities, shopping and excellent eating spots, even within a 10km radius.
Eric is a professional Bird Guide (BirdsIreland). He is listed on Trip Advisor and (website hidden) under Birds Ireland, Eric Dempsey or Eric The Birdman.
If birding is your thing or if you've always wondered if birding might be your thing, he'd be delighted to show you some birds for a special AirBnB rate. Half day & Full days are available.
As you read through the following pages, you will find several restaurants, cafes and pubs which we feel we can recommend. Cafes and restaurants are a big part of our leisure time. A day's birding or walking is never without a visit to a good cafe, pub or restaurant for a bit of sustenance.
We would be more than happy to help you organise your daily route in order to incorporate the areas which would best suit your interests. We keep a selection of local tourist maps & pamphlets for your perusal and to help you choose some good excursions.
We love to walk on the local stoney beach at Newcastle in all weathers, it's 2km from the house. Equally we love the mountains for a good nature ramble through woods or moors.
Bring some good rain gear so that you don't miss out on being in the outdoors if you get a few drops of rain, which you just might.

We had a great relaxing time in Sycamore Hill .Great location for Wicklow/ Dublin . If one word describes this place its ''RELAXING''.This spacious apartment is beautifully presented & decorated which instantly makes you feel your are 'away' yet '@home'. Whilst the unspoiled gardens /surrounding area is a tonic for the Mind /Body & Soul. Both Eric & Hazel are genuinely very welcoming & friendly. It their personal touch that particularly stands out ( they make the perfect hosts). The complimentary food in fridge & possibility of buying wines home cooked food in the freezer ect: is a great idea & very welcome after arrival !! no need to dash off to the shops . Everything is as is described on the blurb. It has all that one could want or need. The kitchen is very well equipped & everything was spotless. This was out first experience of Air bnb. and it has been amazingly positive one it far exceeds the experience of staying in an impersonal hotel or business like traditional B&B setting.( my 2x 12 yr old boys agreed 100%. We hope to return again in the not too distant future . 10/10 on all fronts . Martina & Co.

This is a beautiful place to unwind, everything you need is available. From good books, a dvd player, and a nice bathroom with a bath to relax even food to buy if you don't want to leave. Its closeby Wicklow if you want to have diner and a 30 min ride to Glendalough or Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry. You can feel the love Hazel has put into the accommodation. If you like birds Eric is the man to go to, he's an expert on the subject. And their dog Suzie (and the neighbor's dog) have stolen our hearts.

Thanks Eric and Hazel for a second really memorable stay in your Loft apartment. It was an incredible experience to sit for a quiet breakfast on the balcony, with garden birds too numerous to mention on the bird feeders placed all around the garden. It was a pleasure to spend a half day being guided by you Eric. Your knowledge of birds is amazing. I can now recognise a buzzard and seeing the red kite flying over the fields nearby was very exciting for a novice like myself. Thanks for introducing me to the best spots for birding along the Wicklow coastline. I look forward to visiting those places again. The apartment is so restful and peaceful. It’s the wild garden and the trees that really stood out for me this time. I loved watching the evening light fade sitting outside, with the fire lit in the fire pit. The dusk chorus was beautiful as birds called out to each other from your trees. I loved walking along the coast at Newcastle and just North of Wicklow town. I couldn’t believe how fast it was to drive home. Your place really is a gem, a wildlife haven, so near to Dublin, but a world away. On the N11, I was back in Dublin in 25 minutes! A great break. Thank you for being such kind and generous hosts.

Hi,
What makes our place unique is the fantastic location.
We are in a completely rural setting with fantastic scenery yet only a 50 mn. journey to Dublin, so you can easily experience both the city and and the rural world. We are within walking distance of a small village which has a good restaurant and a traditional pub. There are great walks and lots of places to visit locally.
From the village you can get to the Wicklow Hills and Bray (a lovely seaside town with traditional pubs & restaurants). A small theatre and a leisure centre plus a beautiful promenade.
Dublin is accessible by bus alsothe LUAS & DART. There are direct bus links to Bray, Dublin, Wicklow Town and Glendalough as well as Dublin Airport and Rosslare Seaport. We are 12 minutes walk from this stop. Alternatively, you can reach the Dublin centre in a 35 minutes drive and the Dublin Airport in also a 35 minutes drive.
Your room is lovely with an ensuite shower room and an informal seating area adjoined. You have your own entrance and a microwave and kettle - for any other cooking you can use our kitchen. We are just a door away and will always be happy to help. The accommodation is suitable for two people or a small family.
It is an ideal location to get away from it all. When your batteries are recharged there are, amongst other things, beautiful walks, golf, gardens to visit, and a visit to Dublin to enjoy.
*** Why not avail of our special offer 2 nights B&B and a home cooked dinner for €140!**
Looking forward to your visit.

My home would be suitable for corporate guests, solo adventurers, business travellers, or for those who require a comfortable setting while attending a wedding or party function. I provide all the comforts of a boutique hotel. There are restaurants, cafes and lovely mountain views to enjoy and of course the beach. You will love my place because of the comfortable bed, the tasteful decor and the sheer coziness of the surroundings.

The area itself is quiet and off the main road. There are lovely mountainous views surrounding the area.

Two bedroom house at edge of Powerscourt estate in beautiful Enniskerry; a short walk from the waterfall. Own entrance and garden, stunning countryside location featured in PS I Love You and Vikings. Heaven for walkers; on the 80 mile Wicklow Way.
This accomodation has just been refurbished so some photos are still not updated. This also accounts for bookings cancelled in early summer which appear in our reviews

Two bedroom house at edge of Powerscourt estate in beautiful Enniskerry; a short walk from the waterfall. Own entrance and garden, stunning countryside location featured in PS I Love You and Vikings. Heaven for walkers; on the 80 mile Wicklow Way
Beautiful countryside on the famous Wicklow Way walking trail - 80 miles of mountain walks right on our doorstep. Perfect for hikers, runners, cyclists, equestrian or wildlife enthusiasts. Favoured Irish location for international wildlife and Irish culture photographers, filmakers and journalists. Beside the picturesque Enniskerry village and 45 minutes from Dublin city. Here is a little video of the area we live in - some of these shots done within 200 metres of our house.
In the self-contained flat there your own entrance door and hallway, a large sitting room/living area, three steps down to the kitchen and dining area. Upstairs on the mezzanine level is a double bedroom with a stunning valley view from your pillow.
Down the hall there is a separate double bedroom, and large bathroom with bath and shower.
Guests have the complete flat/mews building with their own entrance. There is also a garden and small terrace for guests. Parking is shared with the main house and there is space for one car or sometimes two. This location is best served with a car - although you can walk to the waterfall and Wicklow Way directly from the house on our quiet local road. Enniskerry is 3 miles away along a busy rural road and is better driven.
However much guests want. We are on hand for advice but let people do their own thing and check themselves in and out alone if they want - especially couples who want quiet time away. On the other hand if you want to meet the horses, ponies and dogs we do lots of chatting around the stable with guests and children adore the chance for a pony cuddle! We have plenty of tips for local attractions, hiking trails and restaurants if people wish to get local advice. Transport times, international travel recomendations or anything you request we have an answer!
Our neighbourhood is one of the most celebrated places in Ireland and appears constantly in television series, movies and advertisements both Irish, UK and American. We have had three television programmes shoot segments at our house and garden, stables and in the fields adjoining us. You will understand its appeal once you get here.
It is a rural location but 35 minutes from Dublin so hard to beat in terms of convenience to both worlds. It's a quiet, natural environment with farmland bordering onto our property. If you want to experience rural Ireland close to Dublin this is it. See (website hidden) for more information on our nearby village (5 minutes drive from the property)
We are 7 minutes drive from the motorway to Dublin (M11) at Kilmacanogue. 5 minutes drive to Enniskerry village by car and 15 minutes to Bray - a large seaside town with plenty of restaurants and entertainment. A bus service connects Dublin to Enniskerry and another service runs every ten minutes to Dublin. Dart and Luas rail services to Dublin and towns countrywide are also within 15 minutes drive of the property. We recommend you have a car to come here as its the easiest way to see the Wicklow county and move between Dublin, Wicklow and other Irish cities if you have time
You may see some cancellations in our review section where we had to take the flat off rental in Autumn 2014 for family reasons. Happily we are back up and running again and some of those cancelled bookings (automatically posted by AirBnB) are still coming to stay with us.

Charlotte's place was larger than we expected, a large living/kitchen area, with everything we needed. The bed was smaller than a double however. Parking was not provided and we had to leave the car on a main road - however if you do need parking, mention this to Charlotte in advance and she will be able to sort it for you with the management company. It is a good location with only a short walk to both the town and the promenade. Check-in and check out was so easy, I would recommend Charlotte's place to others looking for a cosy value for money place to stay in Bray!
